Missouri and Texas A&M are now officially members of the SEC, and that excitement has permeated through virtually every aspect of the two institutions.

We've seen Missouri place billboards within the SEC footprint and Texas A&M buy advertisements on virtually every SEC television program during the 2011-12 seasons.

Oh, and how could we forget that Aggie "Welcome to the SEC" video?

Missouri just raised the bar.

Shryocks Callaway Farms, a corn, soybean and wheat farm located 12 miles east of Columbia, Mo., took the SEC hysteria to a whole new level with its 2012 fall corn maze (h/t Lost Lettermen).

The corn maze features a Tiger holding the SEC logo over the outline of every state that boasts SEC institutions and the text "a new era."

The corn maze won't open until Sept. 7, and it will be open on weekends through Nov. 4. The owners say on their website that the maze still needs some water and that it's still growing.

If you're making the trip to Columbia for an SEC game, consider this one of the items on the checklist.
